Characterized by single-family homes and low-rise multi-family rentals along tree-lined streets, the Central neighborhood of Minneapolis lies about three miles due south of the city center. Bordered on the west by I-35, the Central area provides its residents with a convenient location and easy access to the amenities of the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul region.

Stroll well-kept sidewalks or the walking paths at Powderhorn Park, a 66-acre spread providing picnic facilities, an ice skating rink, a fishing pier, and athletic fields. For a change of pace, visit Central Gym Park on the neighborhood's south side to play tennis or shoot hoops indoors. Then drop into the highly popular Café South Side for a soup and sandwich, a fresh-baked pastry, or a cup of coffee brewed from organic beans.

Central Minneapolis is great... if you're into drive-by's, prostitution, and really loud Spanish music (with a blown speaker, of course) access to 35w is nice though, and it's cheap af.

This area that me and my family live in is horrible because of what happens in our nieborhood and because the people here are usually nasty grimy people.
